On the Chief Data Officer Forum

The Chief Data Officer (CDO) Forum recognizes that just as over the last ten years increasingly

more organizations have come to understand the importance of high-quality data, the criticality

of the CDO’s role in modern organizations has similarly grown exponentially. For example, the

U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and its Services strive to provide high-quality data and

information that are visible and accessible to support commanders in situational awareness,

decision-making, and simultaneous collaborations. In the private sector, the CDO’s role

emerged during the past five years as the executive guarantor of an enterprise’s information

reliability and authenticity.

The purpose of this Forum is two-fold:

Provide a setting to promote discussion and definition of best practices to assist all CDOs

to provide authoritative, relevant, understandable, trustworthy, and sufficient data in their

enterprises’ best interests. The Forum will also endeavor to define the CDO’s role,

mission, and responsibilities

Provide the DoD and its Services with a very efficient and effective mechanism to learn

CDO best practices in the public and private sectors, and then to collaborate with thought

leaders and leading practitioners on this subject.

The discussions during the Forum will address these themes:

1. What is the CDO’s job and to whom should this executive report?

2. What responsibilities and authorities rest on the CDO’s shoulders?

3. What policies should a CDO promulgate and what programs should the CDO lead?

4. What strategies and future directions should CDOs adopt for their organizations?

MIT and the U.S. Army are grateful to all participants from the private and public sectors and

thank them for their contributions to the discussions. It is through their generous sharing of the

strategies that they have used, the challenges they have faced, and the guidelines they have

developed that this Forum will meet its goals and contribute to the maturation of the CDO’s role

in support of international security, prosperity, and economic well-being. Finally, participants in

the Inaugural CDO Forum are invited to join the Forum’s founding members, MIT, U.S. Army,

Gartner, Inc., and Lockheed Martin to:

Develop strategies that CDOs can use to win executive support.

Define management and technical issues that CDOs should address.

Provide guidelines that help an enterprise adopt the CDO role and disciplines.

Elaborate opportunities for CDOs to engage business units.

Consider guidelines to help CDOs assure their tactical and strategic success.

Introduction

The introduction will be made by the Forum Co-Chairs, Dr. Richard Wang, Mr. Joe Bugajski,

and Dr. Willa Pickering, as well as by Mr. Thomas Kelly of Lockheed Martin, the Forum venue

host.

Opening Remarks

Opening remarks will be made by Mr. Michael E. Krieger, Acting CIO/G-6 of the U.S. Army.

He will discuss the critical role of Management of Data to the DoD and the U.S. Army. Mr.

Krieger may illustrate the U.S. Army business with the following examples:

1. Response to events in theaters; adaptive adversary that uses technology to its advantage.

Our ability to rapidly make data actionable is critical to defeating the enemy.

2. Wikileaks: In addition to the lessons learned from this incident, greater effort must be

devoted to finding the “best practices” and success stories where the sharing of

knowledge, information, and ideas have had a positive impact. We need to continue to

foster a shift from the culture of “need to know” to “responsibility to share.”

3. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation

The goal is to collaborate among industry, government and academia to help shape and mature

the DoD and U.S. Army data initiatives.

Private Sector Session

This session will be moderated by Michael Abbott (VP of Engineering, Twitter) and will include

the following panelists:

Mark Goloboy (Director of Global Data Governance, Monster.com)

David Guzmán (CTE, Axciom Corporation)

Jeff Hammerbacher (Former CDO, Facebook; Founder & Chief Scientist, Cloudera)

Peter Kaomea (CIO, Sullivan & Cromwell)

Lee Kenyon (VP and Director of Data Governance and Enterprise Reporting, Eaton

Vance Management)

Tim Sinclair (CDO, Microsoft)

The Private Sector panel will discuss these important data leadership themes:

1. Ubiquitous social networking makes access to the net invaluable to modern enterprises

and complicates enterprise data management.

2. Data volumes have grown prodigiously during the first decade of the 21st century.

3. Changes in financial and privacy regulations create new challenges for enterprises to

assure the reliability of their data.

4. A rapid rise in cloud computing creates new challenges data leaders as the develop

strategies for data management and access.


Page 8

The panelists will address the themes in their responses to these questions:

Has the rapid growth in data volume caused your enterprise to adopt new data

management strategies?

Has the proliferation of social networking and staff demand for access helped or hindered

data leaders?

Do top management and boards of private enterprises consider data governance and

effective data management an issue that appears on their meeting agenda?

What strategies should private sector data leaders adopt to guide the enterprise to better

manage its data?

What message should data leaders give to the enterprise?

What factors inhibit the success of a data leader?

Would you recommend the creation of a CDO office in all private enterprises or just

certain ones?

What is the role of a data leader in addressing data quality challenges?

In a larger context, the discussion will also address broader issues set forth for the CDO Forum:

What is the fundamental value that a CDO delivers to the enterprise?

What problems inhibit a CDO’s success?

How best does a CDO address information quality (IQ) problems?

What messages does the CDO deliver to the executive team (e.g., Chief Information

Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Executive Officer)?

What experiences or case studies prove most helpful to CDOs?

Public Sector Session

This session will be moderated by Willa Pickering (Lockheed Martin) and will include the

following panelists:

Suzanne Acar (Senior Advisor for Enterprise Data Strategies, FBI)

Ron Bechtold (CIO, Office of the Secretary of Defense)

John Bottega (CDO, Federal Reserve Bank of NY)

Ted Campbell (VP Strategic Planning, Lockheed Martin)

Greg Elin (CDO, Federal Communications Commission)

Dat Tran (Executive Director of National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics,

Veterans Affairs Department)

Since many of the participants, if not all, realize the need for a CDO, we may not have to

elaborate on the data problem. Instead we will concentrate on the solutions, especially the role

of the CDO. The moderator will introduce everyone and state a question to the panel at large.


Page 9

The intent is to focus on the following themes:

1. What unique skills should a CDO have: Technology? IT? Data governance? Data

strategies? Data security? Business domain? Diplomatic? Communication? Leadership?

Understanding of data regulations?

2. How does the CDO interact with data suppliers, data stewards, data users?

3. What is the CDO’s role in protecting sensitive data, solving issues such as “need to

share” versus “need to know”?

4. What challenges will a CDO face in establishing a consistent vision and data strategy?

How can these challenges be addressed and resolved?

5. What processes should the CDO develop to manage the data, control the volume of the

data, and deliver the data to the appropriate systems or personnel?

Below are some related questions:

What is the data problem that needs to be solved?

Who is or should be responsible for solving the data problem, business or IT?

With all the other existing roles for data currently in place (i.e., enterprise data

administrator/manager, enterprise data architect, enterprise data strategist, etc), why

would a CDO be needed? In other words, what gap would the CDO position fill?

Would a CDO role and responsibilities in the public sector be that much different than

CDO’s in private sector?

What skills and level of authority does the CDO need to be successful?

Should the public sector CDO be a peer with or a subordinate to the CIO?

How would the role of CDO be institutionalized in the public sector?

Lunch Keynote

Lunch will be provided on-site, presenting on opportunity for networking and continued

discussion of the CDO’s role, goals, and objectives. A brief keynote address will be resented by

Mr Frank R. Petroski of the MITRE Corporation. Mr. Petroski plans to provide his perspective

on the DoD Data Strategy and the key challenges that face a Chief Data Officer in the

implementation of that strategy.

Round Table Discussion

This will be an open discussion including all participants. This session will be moderated by Mr.

Joseph Bugajski and Dr. Yang Lee. Mr. Bugajski is Research VP, Gartner, Inc., and former CDO

of Visa, Inc. Dr. Yang Lee is a tenured professor at Northeastern University and Deputy Director

of the MIT Information Quality Program.

The intent is to hone in on the true roles and responsibilities of the CDO and how the CDO add

values to their organizations. The goal is to develop insights and actionable recommendations

through the collective wisdom of all participants, building upon the knowledge gathered during

discussions in the private and public sector sessions.


Page 10

Open Forum

The Open Forum will begin with opening remarks by Mr. Gary Blohm, the U.S. Army’s CDO.

Mr. Blohm’s remarks will be followed by questions and answers by all Forum participants.

The discussion will focus on how CDO best practices in the public and private sectors, as

discussed in earlier sessions, can be applied to the U.S. Army. What can the U.S. Army learn

from the experiences in industry and other government agencies? As a point of departure for

discussion of CDO strategy, the open forum might:

Consider the official definition of data resource management provided by Data

Management Association: "The development and execution of architectures, policies,

practices and procedures that properly manage the full data lifecycle needs of an

enterprise." What does this mean for the CDO?

Discuss the CDO’s success strategies and plans:

What should be the Army CDO’s long term goals?

What would be the resources required for success?

What are some strategies? What about risk mitigation?

What are the priorities to set and achieve?

How would the CDO measure progress?

What should the CDO NOT do?

What is the end state of the CDO?

Address the following data concerns:

How does the CDO get his or her hands on the Army’s data?

What do the customers expect from the CDO? How should the Army meet and

exceed expectations of customers? Should the expectations differ from industry and

non-military agencies?

How good is the quality of data in Army systems?

What driving forces could shape Army data?

Closing Remarks

Closing remarks will be given by Dr. Richard Wang, Deputy CDO & Chief Data Quality Officer,

U.S. Army CIO/G-6. Dr. Wang is currently on leave from MIT where he serves as the Director

of MIT Information Quality Program.

Data improvement efforts in large enterprises often fail to deliver on expectations. As with any

service provision, the key to avoiding such disappointment is to look at the problem from the

beginning through the eyes of the business executives. Leading organizations realize that data,

just like capital and people, are an asset that must be explicitly managed as are other valuable

corporate assets. Evidenced by the increasingly critical role that data leaders, and in particular

CDOs, play in managing data, private and public sector organizations now recognize the

importance of treating data as a strategic asset. The CDO Forum foresees that the next ten years

promise to be even more exciting for data leaders.


Page 11

In order to produce an event that meets the needs of data and information practitioners, the CDO

Forum’s organizing committee will reach out to communities of experts across a range of

industries and sectors to delineate issues and opportunities. In particular, should the CDO Forum

continue and include the following objectives in its mission:

1. Help CDOs accomplish their mission

2. Survey CDOs about best practices

3. Disseminate CDO success stories and breakthroughs

4. Collect CDO job descriptions

5. Elaborate the varies roles and responsibilities of a CDO

6. Set strategic directions for CDOs to achieve on behalf of their enterprises

7. Analyze the CDO position, and its roles and responsibilities

Sustaining the CDO Forum

This Inaugural MIT-Army Chief Data Officer Forum was sponsored by MIT, the U.S. Army,

Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Gartner, Inc. Although it is too early to discuss whether and

how to sustain the CDO Forum, it is conceivable that as more organizations realize the

importance of high-quality data and the critical role of the CDO in assuring that quality, they will

want the CDO Forum to continue and prosper. One way to sustain the Forum is to make it self-

sustained to fund it and to:

1. Provide support for CDO Forum events

2. Offer administrative support including making appointments, preparing for meetings, and

binding documents

Such funding could be secured in part through membership in the CDO Forum. Benefits of

membership would include but are not limited to:

Invitation with complimentary registration to future CDO Forums.

Collaboration with other members, many to be facilitated by CDO Forum organizers, to

discuss further the “trials and tribulations” of the CDO position. Receiving value-added white papers, position statements, policy documents, and other

material on topics of interest to the CDO Forum members

Your membership and engagement will help shape (and reshape) the critical role that the CDO

will most certainly plays in all modern organizations. If you believe in the proposition of

sustaining the CDO Forum, and are interested in membership, please contact Dr. Richard Wang

([email protected], +1(617) 304-3120), Mr. Joseph Bugajski ([email protected],

+1(408) 738-1106) or Dr. Willa Pickering ([email protected]).
